Project Description

This collaboration between GODORT Rare and Endangered Publications Committee and the GODORT State and Local Documents Task Force will result in a wiki hosted by the State and Local Documents Task Force. Volunteers from the two groups will post descriptions of and links to projects that provide permanent public access to state government information published on the Internet. Projects can be hosted by any type of organization, and are not limited to library projects. If access is fee-based, this will be noted in the description of the project.

Each description will include the following elements, where they can be determined:

Title of project

Date range of information available

Scope of information available (i.e. all publications of a state vs. legislative information only)

Sponsoring organization

Author, if applicable

Contact information for project sponsor or author

URL to access collection

Date site was reviewed

Each volunteer will commit to maintaining a multi-state section of the wiki, and their contact information will be listed on the wiki for the states that are their responsibility. In the initial phase of the project, volunteers will do an environmental scan and messages will be posted to listservs asking for information about any projects that readers are involved in or aware of. After the first phase of the project, volunteers will be responsible for adding any new projects that come to their attention.
